Thread: Redback's whoopsie! warning! twisted metal!

Originally posted by Slunnie

I was beside a truck when one of those let go on Sunday. Its a good bang, but a relief when you realise it was only a $300 propshaft and you can still drive home, as opposed to breaking a diff or axles.

<span style="color:blue">its a relief when the back end breaks.....if the front end breaks it hits the ground
and catapaults the rear end....ripping out the diff and brake lines at the same time....
and all this just before it all goes through the fuel tank.......

just ask my ol' man.......(XB falcon wagon) </span>


<span style="color:green">now is redback gonna tell us what happened.....
or just keep letting the suspense build up.....?</span>

Must be shattered

OK here's a better pic, B Davis is getting a nasty call monday.




And NO i wasn't heavy footed

not bad,, did nearly a full turn before letting go

Baz, do you know why it failed? We've broken a few in the bush, and they have all popped the uni joint in some way. I wonder if the shaft has been dented by a rock of something which creates a stress point, or is it on a manufacture point?

hmm,
we used 'clutch paks' on each drive shaft,
and axels that WOULD twist 360degs then straighten,


and muds,, and bead loks,,

and 300hp,, and $10,000 gearboxes,,

and something still broke!!!





just not on a regular basis
